The Rules of Being a Cat

The Rules of Being a Cat

February 15, 2018

If there is one thing we know for sure about our feline pals, it’s that they live by their own rules. If Fluffy could share her golden rules, what do you think they would be? A local Lakeville, MN vet offers an educated guess in this article.

Get Plenty Of Sleep

It’s probably safe to say that this would be Fluffy’s number one rule. Our feline buddies sleep an average of 14-16 hours a day, though kittens and senior cats sleep even more.

Be Choosy About Your Food

Does your four-legged pal ever meow to demand supper, only to turn her cute little nose up at her food? Kitties can be quite picky! (There is actually a good reason for this: cats always eat their prey fresh in the wild, and will instinctively avoid anything that smells even slightly off.)

Soak Up Sunshine

Do you sometimes find your feline friend snoozing in a sunbeam? While we are pretty sure that Fluffy doesn’t actually run on solar power, she certainly does like sunbathing!

Watch Your Humans Closely

Our feline overlords like to keep a very close eye on their humans. Fluffy may follow you around from room to room like a furry little shadow, observing everything you do. Your pet may even follow you into the bathroom!

Speak Your Mind

Some of our furry buddies are four-legged chatterboxes! Fluffy may very well talk back when you speak to her. Even quiet cats speak their minds when they want food or attention.

Keep Up With Your Fur Care

Fluffy is definitely very dedicated to her beauty regime. Your furry little diva will spend hours every day grooming herself and making sure that her coat stays soft and shiny.

Keep Your Home Properly Furred

Have you ever caught your cat sleeping in a basket of clean laundry? Does your kitty move from spot to spot for her morning, afternoon, and evening naps? Your furry little buddy may just be trying to make sure that she is distributing her fur evenly throughout the house!

Show Your Affection

Many cat are quite the little cuddlebugs, and love to sleep on their humans’ laps. Fluffy also often snuggles up to her people at night. Kitty affection is a very special gift!
